Effect of TiN Spray Coating on Cracking Susceptibility and Energy Absorption in Laser Welding of Aluminum Alloys
This paper reports on the effect of a TiN spray coating on aluminum to improve laser welding issues such as cracking susceptibility and laser absorption.A self-restraint hot cracking test and bead on plate test were employed to compare the laser weldability between the base material and TiN-coated material.The welds with the TiN coating can be full
